Performance: Alexandra Bachzetsis—Chasing a Ghost
Chasing a Ghost, a new commission for the Art Institute of Chicago by Swiss-Greek choreographer Alexandra Bachzetsis, transforms the historic Chicago Stock Exchange Trading Room into a space charged with ambiguous desire. Bachzetsis collaborates with four dancers and two pianists to present a series of ten duets. Expanding the choreographic archetype of the duet to include references to the doppelganger, the mirror image and the uncanny, this evocative work challenges our definitions of physical, emotional and psychological relationships. Chasing a Ghost is the first presentation of Bachzetsis’s work in Chicago.
